  1. Genuary 9 - The textile design patterns of public transport seating.

    arielmartinperez.com/pages/202

    A simple color strip generator inspired by the most commonly seen Paris metro seats (even if other patterns and colors exist in the network). Their palette was designed by Nadine Cahen, according to her website. 1/3

  2. How and why do Parisians tolerate such incompetent operation of the #ParisMetro by the #RATP? Quelle honte ! #metroparisien

  3. @jfmezei @canleaf @kenshirriff Now that's interesting! In Paris (the birthplace of Calypso) they still sell ONLY paper magstripe tickets for multi-zone trips, and I have suspected this is because #Calypso cannot handle it.

    Barcelona wisely avoided this mess by going with #CIPURSE for the #tmobilitat instead.

  4. @jon @reecemartintransit Since Villejuif will not be opening, why does the train waste energy slowing down on the approach and then speeding back up? It's the same #CBTC used by Barcelona line 9 (Siemens Trainguard MT), but in BCN the trains blow right through unserved stations at full speed.

    What a waste of energy. What the hell is #alstom doing? Learn from the projects that got things right!

    Let's hope they fix this before it goes into revenue service.

  5. @jon @reecemartintransit Most of the remainder in between there and Olympiades, however... not so much. Given that they want to open this whole section on 24 June I am quite surprised to see so few people at work, given that this was in the middle of a weekday.

  6. @jon @reecemartintransit @straphanger Aéroport d'Orly station is essentially 99.9% done, and it looks beautiful, right down to the lighting.

    On the way out of the airport, it will doubtless be a beautiful first impression for visitors to Paris.

    Alas, there will be a surcharge for travellers entering or leaving the metro at this station. This should probably come as no surprise, but hopefully won't be anywhere near what the #orlyval costs.

  7. Tag 3: Paris – Versailles – Paris
    46km, 348hm

    Am Montag sind Museen und andere Ausstellungen in Frankreich geschlossen. In ganz Frankreich? Nein, eine kleine Hauptstadt etwas nördlich des Zentrums hält dagegen und öffnet die Pforten vieler ihrer Museen auch an Montagen. Wegen eines Ausstellungsbesuchs sind wir aber nicht hierher gekommen und deshalb finden wir das zwar sehr nett, schlagen das Angebot aber aus, denn heute ist das Wetter gut und wir haben die Räder mit, also fahren wir aufs Land.

    Naja, so ganz Land ist Versailles heute nicht mehr, aber damals als es erbaut wurde, war das noch ganz schön weit. So hat auch die von den Pariserinnen angeführte Menge, die am 5. und 6. Oktober 1789 den König samt Familie nach Paris […]

  8. I say this with the caveat that I didn't use a bike the whole time that I was there. The reason being that the Paris Metro is so absurdly comprehensive that you can get basically anywhere to anywhere in "Zone 1" within ~30 minutes. It's honestly absurd. I never waited more than 5 minutes for a train, and I took the train at all hours from 7am to midnight. The Metro entrances are a little hidden though. They could use some more apparent signage.

  9. The biggest station on the Paris Metro is Châtelet – Les Halles, which is actually the biggest Metro station in the world. The busiest is Saint-Lazare – around 47 million passengers pass through it per year.

    Does anyone out there have a copy of this book on the #paris #metro ?

    I don't want to buy a copy if it doesn't include the very specific info I want (I can't source it at any libraries in the UK, it appears). Please get in touch if you do have a copy and I will tell you more! #transit #paris #parismetro

  11. Yesterday I rode a self-driving train on line 4 for the first time! Full automation is due in 2023, but currently human-driven and automated trains are sharing the rails. 🚇
